Can shlokas really be fun?

Sanskrit shlokas are nuggets of ancient wisdom — beautiful and timeless.

The old school way of teaching shlokas is to have kids memorize the lines and then parrot them back.

How do you think today's kids like that? You guessed it… they find it instantly boring, uncool, and tune out.

So, back to Coco Melon then? No no … wait! There's a better way.

What makes Shlokas Made Fun ™ different?

This is not just a shloka chanting course. It's a journey of discovery!

The course is designed to make kids not only learn the words, but fall in utter love with the essence of the mantras.

Our ultimate hope is that it will inspire kids to explore the world around them through a uniquely Indian lens.

5 thoughtfully crafted modules

The course is divided into five modules, each devoted to a beloved Indian goddess or god from Indian mythology.

Each module engages kids through fascinating stories, fun activities, quizzes, and beautiful projects based on Indian folk art.

Love for Shlokas Made Fun ™

Over 5000 kids and their parents have experienced the course. Here is some of what they have to say.

Kabir with his mom Hemali

Ancient wisdom not taught in schools!

My son absolutely loved it! Priya and Varsha have turned something that might seem complicated and boring for kids into a super fun and engaging experience. I'm thrilled to have found this. Our kids deserve to learn about our ancient wisdom, which unfortunately is not taught in schools.

Riddhi with her mom Priyanka

The stories even got me hooked!

Intricate stuff made super engaging! I wasn't sure how my daughter would like it, and to my surprise, she absolutely fell in love with the content. Priya and Varsha's delivery left her wanting more. She now recites the Shlokas every day. The best part are the stories, which even got me hooked.

Dharaa with her mom Neha

Screen time well spent!

Dharaa remained glued to the screen throughout the course. She has learnt important values like honesty, caring for others, and being there for friends through shlokas. Everything was simple to follow yet super fascinating! As a parent I feel that this was screen time well spent.

Neha, Dharaa's mom

She feels proud to be Indian!

Neha has always been curious about Indian culture. This course made her feel proud to be Indian. She still chants the shlokas she learned months ago and asks interesting questions about our Gods and Goddesses. We are exploring the answers together. Would highly recommend this course to all parents!

A modern approach to ancient traditions!

Your creative use of games and stories to explain the shloka and make it relevant was excellent. You've brought a part of our culture into their lives, even though we live outside of India. The modernized approach made it interesting while keeping its essence intact.

Surabhi, Vihaan and Dhriti's mom

A perfect blend of laughter and learning!

Before the course, Rishi used to recite the shlokas with me like a chore, but now there's a noticeable change in his energy. This learning experience is unique with its incorporation of stories and activities. There's a perfect blend of laughter and learning throughout.

Richa, Rishi's mom

Great company on long journeys!

Nyra enjoyed the stories and the love and enthusiasm with which they were narrated. The beautiful depiction of the shlokas with hand gestures linked to classical Indian dance made the shlokas enjoyable and easy to recollect. The modules keep us great company when we travel.
